Rim Fire “obliterates” Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp

BERKELEYSIDE: The Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp burned down on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 25. A reporter on the scene said no structures survived, and footage shot by ABC7 shows the extent of the devastation.

Reporter John Austin described the camp as being “obliterated” with “virtually every building and cabin gone.” Cal Fire Captain Martin Gill told ABC7 News that a crown fire ran into the camp at around 2-3pm Sunday, as as the top of the area’s tall trees burned, embers fell onto the site.
